A good advertising campaign successfully captures audiences through different outlets and on different levels. We, as consumers, end up being able to relate to the product, service or company rather than just want to purchase on impulse. Whether you think its cool, want to participate in it or want to mimic it for your business, an advertising campaign is a fun way for companies to connect with consumers. Here are the past decade’s top ten ad campaigns.
